      about 1785, and his ashes rest somewhere in the neighboring town of
      Clearfield.

      Sinking Run merits more than a passing mention. Rising in the Allegheny
      summit it flows rapidly down its slope till, within the borough limits, it
      encounters a high rocky point through which it seeks an outlet. This it finds
      only by tunneling a passage for itself sufficient for ordinary times but too
      small for times of heavy rainfall or melting snow. For this overflow an
      additional escape is provided in Dry Run, which cuts a straight course to the
      Little Bald Eagle, a few rods above its mouth. The writer witnessed in the
      Spring Flood of 1893 a feat of heroism which ought not to go unrecorded, if
      not otherwise rewarded. A mad torrent was pouring down the run and whirling
      and roaring over the vortex of the sink, when a cry was raised "A child in
      the run!" While men and women were hastening to the scene and asking what
      should be done, a boy fourteen years old, Abbie Fleck, just coming home from
      school, ran down the bank to where the senseless form was tumbling about in
      the rocks and waters. In spite of the tremendous force of the current, he
      reached the drowning body and bore it to land. The little girl, Amelia
      Strohmeyer, six years of age, owes her life to the prompt action of her
      deliverer, for she was within a few yards of the sink and so nearly gone that
      several hours passed before consciousness was restored.

      For lovely mountain scenery the vicinity of Tyrone is unsurpassed. To climb
      the rocky ridges is no child's pastime but the views gained, of near and
      distant summits rising tier above tier, of winding watercourses, of blue sky
      seen through hills of darkest green, repay the toiler for his efforts. Such a
      vision spreads out before the eye from the top of Brush Mountain, overlooking
      the town and facing the Alleghanies. Its highest point here is said to be
      about 700 feet above the river. In an hour's ride by train or "over land" one
      may gain 1200 feet in elevation and fill his lungs with purest oxygen and
      refresh his thirst with water from the fountainhead.

      To the thoughtful man these lofty domes, topped with tall trees pointing
      skyward, preach a more eloquent sermon than

Pijaczynski Spelling Transition

The Pijzaczynski family name changed many times over the years. In Polish records, Andrew’s surname appeared as Peczynski. He had six children in Poland and five in the United States. After immigrating, his last name varied on documents such as census records, deeds, and death certificates, before his children in the U.S. eventually adopted the name Perchinske. Rumor had it that teachers could not spell the name correctly and eventually his children became Perchinske.
